**Pakistan Advances to Asia Cup Super-Four After Victory Over UAE**

**[City, Date]** – Pakistan secured a spot in the Super-Four stage of the Asia Cup 2025 with a 41-run victory over the United Arab Emirates. The match, led by Salman Agha, saw Pakistan post a total of 146 for 9 in their 20 overs after being put in to bat.

Fakhar Zaman led the scoring with a quickfire 50 off 36 balls, while Shaheen Afridi provided a late surge with an unbeaten 29 off just 14 deliveries. UAE’s Junaid Siddique was the standout bowler, claiming an impressive 4 wickets for just 18 runs.

However, UAE struggled to chase the target, ultimately being bowled out for 105. Pakistan’s bowling attack, spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Abrar Ahmed who each took two wickets, proved too strong for the UAE batsmen.
